Sundown Marathon 2011

Was caught in the traffic jam along Changi Airport to the Changi exhibition Centre on the way there. The marathon suppose to start at 2200hrs when we are still on the bus. So I was abit fed up and impatience. But after getting down, walk a bit, drop off our luggage and the race begins.

From Changi to ECP and back to Changi. Manage to eat only one gel. As my stomach is full of 100 plus cum water with a bit of banana mixing together in my stomach. And its very uncomfortable.

Didnt have time to apply oil as we are already late. And as the results... the back of my hip have abrasion as i have my pouch on. During the marathon I oso realize that I forgotten to have my knee guard on. Haiz....

As I hit mark 35 to 37km, it seems like a long way to the finishing point. I keep telling myself either u walk and you reach the finishing point late so u get to rest late or you maintain your speed so you get to the finishing point early so that you can rest early. I choose you maintain my speed.

Finally I hit mark 41km... only 1 km more. And its so torturing. I keep searching for the finishing point. I drew nearer and nearer and crossed! Yea! 42km completed

Everybody show off their medal

Such a cute giant 100 plus




















Any more 100 plus inside... I'm thirsty...

My breakfast. (Breakfast Deluxe with extra sausage) 


















After that we went to Changi Airport MacDonald and have breakfast. I won myself a free breakfast. Sponsored by Philip. As I won the race.  

My very first full marathon was painful but at the same time incredible. One of my goal completed. Next couple of years I will take on the challenge of ultra marathon.
